[Shihuituan’s latest financing details revealed, Hillhouse Capital, Alibaba, and IDG all competed to follow up, the food delivery website, which was established less than a year ago, is now valued at nearly 10 billion! ]

[Insider news! Lv Guangyu takes over the food benefits group. Is this a sign that Yang Xiao intends to enter the group purchase market? ]

[Gan Jiawei of Meituan and Lv Guangyu of Shihuituan, two Alibaba generals who came from the iron army of China Supply Chain, now serve different masters. What kind of fierce sparks will be created by the collision? ]

[Shocked, just one food benefit group is valued at 10 billion, how much money does Yang Xiao, the largest shareholder, have now? 】

[Thinking about it is terrifying! After digging into Yang Xiao’s industries, Alibaba is trembling, Tencent is sweating, NetEase is terrified, Sohu is scared to pee, and Baidu is weak in the knees! ]

After the completion of the B round of financing for [Shihuituan], Yang Xiao did not make a big fanfare, but he did not do it secretly either.

Instead, he allowed the media to inquire about the matter, and at the same time, he also intentionally released some "rumors".

As a result, many reports about this financing appeared on the Internet.

Yang Xiao still did not hold a high-profile press conference like Wang Xing did to show off his "strong strength".

That seems a bit too much.

Moreover, Wang Xing's high-profile display of wealth was actually something he had to do when he was in prison.

At that time, Meituan was actually in a precarious situation and took the opportunity to hype up its business to boost morale.

It's more like a show of bragging.

But there is no way, who can blame the other group buying websites on the market for not being up to par?
Taking WoWotuan and Lashou.com as examples, all the financing money was used for advertising and promotion.

At the most exaggerated time, it even reached the point where the "IPO" was almost at its own expense.

This was when Yang Xiao was welcoming Lu Guangyu and heard about the industry scandal that Lu Guangyu had revealed.

In order to make their performance look better, several leading group buying companies, including Meituan, directly pay the selling price of the goods to the merchants when they are trying to attract merchants to launch group buying activities!
What does this amount to?

The merchant has already sold the goods.

But in fact, it is a selling platform. The platform pays the bill and then sells it to customers as a second-hand dealer.

The key point is that this second-hand dealer not only takes risks but also loses money!
How can nothing go wrong when group buying websites play with money like this?

Either they withhold employees’ wages, or they commit financial fraud, or there are various cases where internal employees collude with businesses to cash out.

I can only say that this is a crazy era, and it is really easy to earn some gray income.

The original [Meituan] almost went down the same path of no return as them.

Fortunately, Wang Xing was wiser.

Gan Jiawei was invited to take charge of the situation.

The specific strategy is to focus on the sales market and proceed step by step. At present, the market is infinitely large. Relying solely on advertising promotion, providing subsidies regardless of cost or even advance payment to merchants is just a temporary solution and a self-defeating measure.

Yang Xiao found Lu Guangyu and planned to take this approach and compete with him.

In history, Lv Guangyu was later invited to Dianping.com, but it was too late as the market had almost been occupied by Meituan.

Now is still the “right time”!
Yang Xiao also hopes that these two people can collide with each other as the media said, and then determine the winner and loser?
Magic City.

[Food Benefit Group] branch, the entire large conference room was crowded with people, there were about two hundred employees.

At this time, except for most of the personnel who stayed in the local area to maintain daily work, most of the branch's middle-level and above leaders were called to Shanghai for training.

"What does it mean to use the false to cultivate the true? The 'false' refers to standard operating procedures, which stipulate how you must do things. The 'true' refers to the development and improvement of talents and organizations."

“The truly effective management in an enterprise is to turn your subordinates into yourself and let them work voluntarily.”

"In other words, process indicators and outcome indicators are just a means to make unreliable people reliable, to train and replicate you."

"In November 2008, I was in charge of Alibaba's Guangdong region. Jack Ma went to Guangdong on a business trip. We had dinner together outside the Marco Polo Hotel in Shenzhen. At that time, my level was far lower than his. It was only after a chat that I suddenly understood this truth."

On the stage, Lu Guangyu was sharing his sales and management experiences. While bragging, he was instilling all kinds of practical information and hard truths.

In the next few days, they will even have practical sales campaigns in certain areas.

It is somewhat similar to the state-owned enterprises of later generations that spend money to hire people for classes and training, and then do door-to-door sales.

After returning, these more than 200 people are also responsible for training grassroots sales employees.

At this moment, influenced by this kind of "collectivism", they nodded repeatedly and answered every question. They looked quite enthusiastic and serious!

Yang Xiao was also in the audience at this time. Seeing this scene, he felt relieved.

It seems that no matter what you do, it still needs professionals to do it!
Reliable!

A makeshift team is only temporary and is not a long-term solution!

After the meeting, Yang Xiao, Lu Guangyu, Wang Juntao, Zhang Yang and the heads of individual provincial branches gathered together.

"Boss Lu, that's a good point! I feel much more relieved now that you have joined the Food Benefit Group."

Since Lv Guangyu joined the company, the market in Shanghai has achieved further results.

In fact, training team meetings like this have been held several times.

This is a relatively large-scale one, and it can be regarded as a summary of successful practical experience.

At the same time, this is also a general mobilization for [Food Benefit Group] to open the group purchase window and sound the clarion call for attack!
"No, no, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yang."

Although facing Yang Xiao's polite words, Lu Guangyu was still quite serious and grateful at this time.

"I have to thank Mr. Yang for giving me this opportunity, allowing me, a defeated general, to return to the battlefield that belongs to me. I will definitely not let you down, Mr. Yang. I will definitely avenge my previous defeat and ensure that I can take a certain market share as soon as possible!"

"Haha, I feel relieved after hearing what you said, Mr. Lu. After the financing is completed this time, we have enough bullets. Just lead the charge. I will wait for your results in the rear."

Yang Xiao was not only relieved now, he was also really confident at this moment.

[Food Benefit Group] With a leader who is truly talented and hard-working, we can not only do a better job in the takeaway market, but also open up new group purchase markets with confidence.

The most important thing is that after the financing, there is too much money!
With money and connections, one can naturally stand tall. Yang Xiao has never fought such a wealthy battle in his life!
Then, Yang Xiao talked to him about business again:

"Boss Lu, I heard that you plan to place the initial battlefield of the group buying market in Yanjing this time? That's the headquarters of [Meituan], is there any explanation?"

"Haha, Mr. Yang, don't be fooled by the fact that [Meituan] is so high-profile now. In fact, in my opinion, it is just a show of strength on the outside but weakness on the inside."

Lv Guangyu smiled and said, "Although our [Food Benefit Group]'s financing this time was not widely publicized, it was still disclosed by many media. In this case, we might as well take advantage of this trend and directly enter the market in a high-profile manner. We have both popularity and strength, and we are not afraid of any company in the same industry at all."

"Makes sense."

Yang Xiao nodded, agreeing with what he said.

The takeaway market of [Shihuituan] was also like this at the beginning. It started in Shenzhen and then targeted the three super first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The Magic City is also the headquarters of Ele.me, so Yang Xiao was not afraid at all.

Lv Guangyu also expressed his insightful opinion, saying: "Also, although [Meituan] announced their profit news, in my opinion, the group buying market is actually a bit sluggish at this time.

Lashou.com and Wowotuan.com have failed to go public, and one is nowhere near going public. There is also a website called Dianping.com that has been very popular recently. The market is a mess right now, and it is a good opportunity for us, Shihuituan, to join the battle and show our capabilities.”

"Professionals are really different. Just go for it!" Yang Xiao laughed.

"Charge? Haha, this word is interesting. Under the leadership of Boss Yang, we all have to charge!"

Lu Guangyu has a high emotional intelligence and praised Yang Xiao in his words.

At the same time, he was really grateful to Yang Xiao for giving him this opportunity and valuing him so much, allowing him to hold power.

Today, he is the vice president of a billion-dollar company, which is even better than his previous peak.

The others also raised their glasses to liven up the atmosphere.

"Come on, come on, let's toast to Mr. Yang! Let's go!"

"Come on, everyone, work together!"

"."

"Mr. Lu, I offer you a toast. Since you came, I have learned a lot of knowledge from you that will benefit me for the rest of my life. Knowledge gained from books is always shallow. Only practice can bring results. You are a famous teacher in my life!"

Zhang Yang at the table first flattered Yang Xiao, then immediately changed his tone and greeted Lu Guangyu.

He is always eloquent and has a clear mind, whether he should say it or not.

As for the big and small kings, he had it all sorted out clearly and distinctly.

Although Yang Xiao holds the position of chairman, Zhang Yang knows that he is a hands-off boss.

Nowadays, most of the money is basically given to Lu Guangyu.

Of course, Lu Guangyu is indeed capable. His methods of management, training, and team building are among the best. He Zhang Yang is also improving himself and has indeed learned a lot.

Wang Juntao was much more sincere and also raised a glass of wine when he saw this.

He first exchanged pleasantries with Yang Xiao, and then said to Lu Guangyu:
"Mr. Lu, I am not good at speaking, and I have a low level of education, only graduating from junior high school, but I actually prefer the front-line sales market. During this period, I have benefited a lot from your hands-on guidance. Let me toast to you."

Wang Juntao had already stuttered a little, but Lu Guangyu also responded with one.

Putting aside his personal relationship with the scattered retail shareholders of [Food Benefit Group] and the face of Yang Xiao's friends, Lu Guangyu is actually more optimistic about Wang Juntao.

pragmatic!

Actually, considering their current positions and abilities in the company, Wang Juntao and Zhang Yang are not even qualified to sit at this table.

It can only be the kind that is hanging around in the leadership of the branch company at the prefecture-level city level.

Nowadays, they all hold important positions by relying on their status as founding fathers.

They have no part in decision-making.

Can only execute!

They actually knew everything about this situation.

Now that the company is getting bigger and bigger, I have to constantly improve myself, otherwise I will always face the risk of falling behind!
Fortunately, we should look at the Buddha’s face instead of the monk’s.

For Yang Xiao's sake, Lu Guangyu took good care of the two of them and was willing to guide them.

At this time, with Yang Xiao present, he also gave a hint:

"The market is still expanding and there is a shortage of people everywhere. You still need to train and grow up to be able to take charge of your own business as soon as possible. In short, according to Mr. Yang's instructions, the future [Food Benefit Group] will be judged by performance!"

"We will definitely not hold the company back!"

Zhang Yang and Wang Juntao quickly expressed their opinions, and the other people at the table also joined in the fun when they saw this.

"Boss Zhang and Boss Wang are both young and promising. They will definitely achieve great things in the future!"

"Yes, you have a promising future. Let's all learn from Boss Yang!"

"."

Seeing the two people express their opinions and the people around them agreeing with them, Lu Guangyu nodded with satisfaction.

Both of them are in their early twenties. Wang Juntao is a few years older, but they are all youngsters in front of Lu Guangyu.

Lu Guangyu's words also revealed some sincerity, and even had a bit of the meaning of a master and his apprentice.

Yang Xiao also smiled and glanced at the two of them without saying much.

it is more than words!
We have all been in the workplace for so long, it’s enough for us to have an idea of ​​what’s going on!

When Wang Juntao and Zhang Yang saw Yang Xiao looking at them, they felt a little uneasy.

The latter felt particularly uncomfortable. Compared with Wang Juntao, he had much more to learn and grow.

Wang Juntao is born into a wealthy family, so he has experience in social experience and employing people.

He is a complete rookie who can only win by playing tricks and flattering others.

Isn't it a way to protect yourself to have good interpersonal relationships with everyone?
"Boss Yang, I heard that you are going back to school after returning from the Magic City this time?"

"Correct."

"Are you going to promote their new product, Li Xuedi?"

"Haha, you are more informed than anyone else."

Yang Xiao cursed with a smile, knowing that Zhang Yang was trying to get close to him.

This kind of person is both fresh blood and lubricant in the company, and his existence is necessary.

He heard that Zhang Yang even brought his good friend, the vice president of the Shenzhen University Student Union, who had met Yang Xiao once before, to the company.

Now he holds an important position, so his ability is naturally evident.

The company is still in its start-up phase, and many of its systems, management systems and leadership are not yet perfect.

Even if there are some signs of ganging up on the enemy, it is normal.

These are all within the controllable range and are far from the red line threshold.

Even if there are some problems later, we can improve them slowly when the time comes.

At various mobilization meetings, Yang Xiao said quite a few harsh words.

Mr. Yang's knife is not sharp either.

After the training and mobilization meeting in Shanghai ended, Yang Xiao rushed to Shenzhen without stopping.

It was almost October now.

He had actually been absent from school for over a month.

This time, Yang Xiao was not going back to school, but to attend the launch conference of the sub-product of [oneday].

This sub-product was born out of [one day].

The name is also very simple, called [Answer].

Yes, this has been prepared since the beginning!
The section about answers has long been launched on the original APP of [oneday].

Just select one high-quality answer every day and put it on the software for users to view.

Of course, the comments section is open for everyone to discuss.

The popularity of this sector has always been high.

Now is the time to become independent.

Yang Xiao’s purpose is also very simple, which is to compete with Zhihu!
